Taking Dexketoprofeno Mabo with food and drinks

Take the tablets with a sufficient amount of water. Take the tablets with food, as this helps to reduce the risk of experiencing adverse effects in the stomach or intestines. However, in the case of acute pain, take the tablets on an empty stomach; that is, at least 30 minutes before meals, as this facilitates the medication's action a little more quickly.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or intend to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Do not take dexketoprofeno if you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy, as it may harm the fetus or cause problems during delivery. It may cause kidney and heart problems in your fetus. It may affect your predisposition and that of your baby to bleed and delay or prolong delivery more than expected. Do not take dexketoprofeno during the first 6 months of pregnancy unless it is clearly necessary and as indicated by your doctor. If you need treatment during this period or while trying to become pregnant, you should take the minimum dose for the shortest possible time. From week 20 of pregnancy, dexketoprofeno may cause kidney problems in your fetus if taken for more than a few days, which may cause low amniotic fluid levels surrounding the baby (oligohydramnios). If you need treatment for a period longer than a few days, your doctor may recommend additional monitoring.

Do not take this medication during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medication.

• Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as this medication may not be suitable for you.
• Do not take this medication if you are breastfeeding. Seek advice from your doctor.
